It seems the world has become consumed with negativism. Very seldom is the negative followed by a glimpse of a positive view. Such was the case in our community recently when Publix Super Markets was attacked negatively concerning their political contributions. The attacks were followed by plans for boycotting Publix stores.

I would like to provide the missing positive glimpse. I will always support Publix because they daily out-support me. Here are just a few of the life enrichments that Publix supports for me through their generous donations:

These are just a few of the cultural and societal opportunities in which I am personally rewarded. There are so many, many more Publix-supported opportunities that enrich the citizens of this entire community.

Perhaps the negative voices might want to glimpse at the positive view and see that they, too, are supported in a big way by Publix — in a way that they had not realized. Often, when the negatives and the positives meet, a peaceful alliance can be made.

Thank you, Publix, for your spirit of generosity!

Beth Mason, Lakeland
